This is another one of the western stories (I've seen at least three others) in which the aging gunfighter comes into town - not wanting any trouble - and all kinds of commotion ensues, simply because of the man's reputation.
These types of films are always (1) too talky; (2) showing the gunman to be a law-abiding, peaceful man who is goaded into action; (3) having the hero deal with hysteria and mob psychology; (4) are labeled "adult westerns" by the predictable film critics.
Speaking of predictable, that's what the endings to these stories are always are and - even worse - they are generally boring films. This is no exception.
